We had 6 courses for 16 guests, and everyone one of them loved the food. If I didn&#39;t use a recipe, I used a technique or guideline found on the site. There were Peppadew stuffed peppers, a &quot;salad&quot; with orange supremes and jalapeño vinaigrette (I used seared tuna rather than scallops), a potato and leek soup with salmon &quot;present&quot; from the Valentines post, pulled bbq turkey breast which used a base of SFO sauce to get it started and Mac-n-cheese (taken from the crispy potato topping post), gnocchi with bolognese (taken from the timeshare turkey post), and finally merlot beef over mashed potatoes in a pastry puff shell. There were lots of garnishes, a dessert with every course, and several components to dishes not found on this site, but Foodwishes.com was well represented and the foundation to every course. Thank you Chef John, I wish you &amp; Michelle, and Foodwishes.com a banner year in 2011.Thomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-65244284919289445622011-01-02T12:29:03.992-05:002011-01-02T12:29:03.992-05:00I&#39;m looking forward to learning your sous vide...I&#39;m looking forward to learning your sous vide techniques for one reason.<br /><br />I have several beaver tails in my freezer that need to be cooked. They were given to me by a game-hunting friend, as a sort of challenge.<br /><br />Truth is, he didn&#39;t want them. But how often does one get the opportunity to cook beaver tails? Besides, there&#39;s huge joke potential.<br /><br />While my expectations for this unlikely and possibly regrettable endeavor are low, sous vide may be just the thing.Chris K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12297446657314042486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-34135448723332918912011-01-01T18:08:47.037-05:002011-01-01T18:08:47.037-05:00Hi Chef John

Basically, I loved it so much that I did some research that lead to sous vide and I made my own water oven. This opened so many doors that I&#39;m still exploring. <br /><br />As for equipment-less sous vide, you at least need a digital thermometer and preferably a BIG stock pot. Duck breasts are perfect for a seat-of-the-pants sous vide. Next, I&#39;d recommend chicken breast and for a real treat, scallops. WOW!! 20 min @ 120F --&gt; 5 min in ice water --&gt; dry on paper towels and pan sear. Perfect, buttery texture. Of course save the broth, warm and pour over.<br /><br />Thanks for the inspiration<br />Ken W in MAKen Wnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-24110167454391588312011-01-01T17:57:35.328-05:002011-01-01T17:57:35.328-05:00I imagine the flavors were wonderful, even if they...I imagine the flavors were wonderful, even if they only half matched the beautiful photo, and if it was as you described, this had to be an out of world experience of deliciousness!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-24205919072910766002011-01-01T16:58:05.208-05:002011-01-01T16:58:05.208-05:00Hey Chef,

The first time went great, but the second time resulted in medium steaks even though the water was at the medium-rare temperature. I&#39;d be interested in the details of your sous-vide setup, down to the smallest detail.<br /><br />Oh, and Happy New Year!Ianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04175556830248883005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-38251835192313690902011-01-01T15:10:29.554-05:002011-01-01T15:10:29.554-05:00I never leave comments on Foodwishes, but am makin...I never leave comments on Foodwishes, but am making an exception to say this was my favorite meal of 2010, and no surprise, it was at home with my favorite chef. I can&#39;t wait to read everyone&#39;s comments after they have tried these, you&#39;ll be so amazed how delicious these were.
